Hey guys, I've been asked in the past to start a build thread on here of my 19 Z71. Well, since she's going in the shop for suspension upgrades (Brenthal Industries) on Monday I thought now would be a good time to start with what I've done so far.

 

Started Off: June 21, 2019

2019 Silverado 1500 Z71, LT, Crew Cab w/ 6' bed (hard to find), 5.3L, 8spd trans.

 

BONE STOCK

of course, if you're not doing the rear leaf springs. Just the OEM king shock upgrades, just don't pre-load them   My buddy's shop will be doing the install, and I will be making a thread on

Found this little gem on ebay and decided "What the heck... Who doesn't love AMERICA?!!!!!" (and PBR)   https://www.ebay.com/i/163688480777?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117

First off, I wanted to get the front end to the height it would end up at with my future plans. I purchased the Moto Fab 3" leveling top strut mount spacers because (1) That's the amount of lift the new suspension and King coilover shocks will give me and (2) They seem  to be more stout than the plastic lower strut mount spacer option.

Next, it was time to get some real hikin shoes on her. In anticipation for the new suspension requiring wheels with a minimum of 4.75". I ended up finding a set of 5 bran new Method Double Standards with Toyo Open Country R/T tires mounted for a killer deal on the http://www.race-dezert.com Classifieds section. In the end I had to add 1/2" wheel spacers on the front wheels since the wheel just barely contacted the brake caliper and 1/2" spacers were the smallest I could find. Breaks my heart to have to use wheel spacers but....what're ya gonna do?

 

Wheels: Method 304 Double Standard (machine finish) 17x8.5

Tires: Toyo Open Country R/T 285/70/17

you aren't kidding about finding a standard bed in a 1500.....took me awhile 

 

I almost went with same kit from them ( king 2.5 and baja kits UCA), I was on my way to their shop but decided I probably wont take it offroad much and its a bit of coin even though kings are superb and am sure the truck would have rode very nice even on street....maybe DTL

Nice! Which UCA's did you go with? Also, which Deaver pack did you get? I've been hounding them about a mini pack for our 2019's that would give a 2" lift but they haven't released the product yet.

*Dropping my truck off at Baja Kits right now* ?

Ahhh lucky!

 

im just going to use the UCAs that came up my ReadyLIFT level kit, they’re not bad at all! 

 

The package through Filthy Motorsports includes “1 Lift Deaver Rear Leaf Springs...

-from their website-

“- Lifts the rear end 1" for improved rear travel. Hardware included.
- All Deaver leaf springs will be custom tuned for your application.”

I dunno, something doesn't sound right about the 1" lift Deavers (I hope you're right though). I haven't seen anything like that on the Deaver website. Give them a call and inquire about the 2019 Silverados. I always prefer to contact the manufacturer rather than a re-sale shop if I can.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      NEW TRUCK

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
